What Does the AAB Do?
The AAB works with CrossRoad Institute to serve and connect CrossRoad alumni as they continue to explore their vocation through love of God and neighbor. Board members work with CrossRoad in engaging alumni through communications, outreach, and programming, directly serving the broader alumni community.
Board members will also work to develop one collaborative project that they will have the entirety of the year to work on and execute.
